Just like the title says, I'm looking for a Super Duty recipe.
Back when all the work was done on my 73 TA http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=743806 the original owner had HO Racing build a Super Duty motor out of over the counter parts for him. I've been in touch with Craig Hendrickson but he does not seem to remember the particulars of the build (It was almost 40 years ago). ![]() Since that motor got pulled, I'm looking to put another one back in and am looking for a build recipe. Parts I have for the build are: 73 Dated 485428 casting 4 bolt main 455HO SR Block #16 Super Duty Heads 72 Dated (early) 485640 Aluminum Intake Manifold SR Dated Super Duty Carb (can't locate it at the moment to pull the number) L Casting Super Duty Rods Standard 455 cast crank What I'm looking for are the particulars on how I should build this to have a strong street engine & occasional track run that will run on 93 octane pump gas. What compression ratio, stroke, rods, pistons, cam and what other considerations I should make for the build. There is an electric fuel pump on the car and I've already purchased a new fuel tank with one in it so we can take that into consideration as well. Not looking to spend a fortune, I probably won't end up using the rods due to weight but can easily sell those. I have not purchased exhaust manifolds yet but plan to go with a stock transverse muffler setup so over-sized is likely out. So - what would you suggest?
